Are you just as "Lost"?
The mystery of the Oceanic Six seems to be getting clearer on “Lost.” Or is it?
For those of you who don’t watch the ABC drama, survivors of a plane crash have been on a mysterious island for 100 days. Since the end of last season, there have been flash forwards to show that a group known as the Oceanic Six were rescued.
It is clear that the six include Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Sayid (Naveen Andrews). Here’s the big question. Has the sixth member of the group been revealed or not.
Please don’t continue to read if you are behind in watching the series. There will be spoilers.
There are at least five people who could be the last member of the Oceanic Six. The episode that wrapped up Kate’s story after her rescue revealed that she has a baby. The baby has the same name as the child Claire (Emilie de Ravin) gave birth to on the island. So depending on how far forward the show leaped in time this could be Claire’s baby or Kate had her own child. Kate was not supposed to be able to have a child but that island did strange things to people. So the baby could be the sixth person.
The most recent episode shows that Sayid has already gotten off the island and he is with two others. Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) traveled to a small freighter with Sayid. And now we know that Michael (Harold Perrineau) is still alive. He and his son left the island early in the series. So Desmond or Walt could be the other Oceanic Six member.
And of course, it was revealed that Ben (Michael Emerson) got off the island. He and Sayid are working together in the future. Ben, like Desmond, was not on the flight. But, both could have lied.
Finally, there was the funeral Jack attended at the end of last season. It was not made clear if this was someone from the island or not. It could be an ill-fated member of the Oceanic Six.
There is nothing to say the sixth identity has yet to be revealed. That’s what keeps viewers coming back to “Lost.”
